Richard Woolfe, Director of Programmes, LivingTV said “LivingTV viewers are interested in relationship dating and the internet. Elove brilliantly combines the modern day Blind Date with powerful narrative and great characters.”

Elove invites select “virtual couples” to meet each other for the first time at a mutually agreed upon location for a three-day all expense paid rendezvous. The elove cameras record their encounter.

Compelling elove episodes include the story of Einit, a 31-year-old nursing student from Las Vegas, and Didier, a hunky 41-year-old surgeon from Challans, France, whose work for the Red Cross takes him to war-torn areas all over the world. “Didier seems tailor-made for me,” says Einit. “I’d like to wear him like a shirt!” Aware of her lover’s weakness for redheads, Einit dyes her brown locks flaming red before traveling to Paris to meet him.

In another gripping episode, Marc, a twice-married engineer and father in Fort Worth, Texas gets ready to sweep Las Vegas construction manager Jacey off her feet. But Jacey wants a family and Marc isn’t sure if he wants more children. Armed with roses and wine, Marc travels to Vegas, unaware that Jacey has another Internet lover waiting in the wings… a man as eager to start a family as she is.
